Re: Certification or College degrees? Was: RE: list problems?

My two cents:

>From what I have found most colleges in the area of the world that I am in
(New England) focus their BCS studies on programing. Completely unrelated to
the area of anything network related. This may not be the case everywhere.
Maybe the industry leaders should assist the education scene in developing a
degree program for future network engineers that beter prepares them for
this field. It doesn't help the industry if a bunch of programers are
running around acting like network engineers, just as a bunch of network
engineers are no more qualified to program. Perhaps a bachelors in network
engineering is in order?
